Peru; the Paititi Myth and the lost treasures of the Inca's. Archaeologist and trainee curse-breaker Rose Weasley is buried deep in the jungle, and when cursed objects are more than she can handle, Dark Arts expert Scorpius Malfoy is called in to help. Tempers flare and emotions run high as two very different people are thrown together. After all, when you are digging up the past, you'd better pay attention to the present.

It should have been a simple case of Dragon Pox, but instead it's a window into the daily lives of the characters you know and love.

This story was started (and nearly finished) nine years ago as an expansion of the DH epilogue. I needed closure, and I was happy to share my attempt with the world. But nine years of writer's block brings me back, this time seeking a new beginning.

James Potter owed a debt to his inheritance. His prank-filled school days cost him his best friends, his future, and his true love. Three years later; miserable, wealthy and married, he meets the girl he left behind, and everything changes. Can he continue to endure his failing marriage? Will his work conflict with his heart? And more importantly, will he be able to let Lily Evans go, for a second time?

I think I started my life as a screw up at the mere age of five when I turned my dog into a plant, but I've just taken it to a whole new level. I mean, continually snogging my best friend's twin brother who also happens to be the bane of my existence? That's practically dark wizard level.

Cassie Cooper was getting by just fine.
A mysteriously absent brother, friends that just didn't understand, manipulating teachers aside...
She was fine.
Until Albus Potter came along with his hope and his faith and his smile.

Hermione is back at Hogwarts for her final year, only this time it is without the company of Harry and Ron. As well as completing her NEWT's Hermione is to watch closely the son of renowned Death Eater Lucius Malfoy and her sworn enemy - Draco Malfoy - to gather what information she can about Voldemort's activities. However, she never planned on him finding out, but he did. And now his mind is set on catching his new prey.

The truth.
Bugger. I really hated that word… Honestly, whoever said The truth will set you free had no idea what he was talking about. How did I know ? Simple, really…the truth loved me. I didn’t love it, but it loved me: I am incapable of telling lies.
Can you even imagine how inconvenient that is when you go to school with people like the Marauders...?!

Gryffindor's golden boys were no longer going to get away with being the same arrogant idiots they'd been for the past five years.
It was time for payback.
As soon as I got out of the weeks worth of detentions they'd landed me in.

It was beyond baffling. How could you detest something so thoroughly and yet fancy someone who stood for it? How could you fancy someone when you were hopelessly in love with someone else? And how the hell could you be mind-blowingly in love with one person and still hate them with every cell in your body?"

At Hogwarts, green and scarlet mix about as often as Harry and Ron ace Potions. For Draco and Hermione, staying together becomes a measure of love, determination and an ability to fight against the surrounding factors that want nothing but to tear them apart.

Lily and James are in their final year at Hogwarts. James is the same love-struck boy determined never to learn his lesson. Lily is the temper-ridden ball of confidence that hates everything remotely Potter (including that ridiculous broomstick). Sirius, however, is just Sirius. One last year to change their lives.

Pirates and Nobles: this very game gives a new definition to every witch and wizard. Murder doesn't come with regret, fighting doesn't come without scars, and hate treads a fine line with lust, not love. This very game was invented for inner house unity. To be honest, the murdering and hanging doesn't really help. Updated: June 24, 2012

When Hermione and Draco are made Head Boy and Head Girl during their seventh year at Hogwarts, sparks were bound to fly, and not necessarily in a good way. What will happen when the two are left to face Winter Break alone together, and can they handle the repercussions?

I was brash, wild and temperamental. I knew all this. I was rule breaking, crazy and stubborn. I knew this also. And I knew I wasnít going to change. I knew most girls hated me. I could feel it in their glares. But I didnít care. Thatís just who I was. I also knew girls didnít like the way Sirius Black looked at me. That might have been the one thing we agreed on.

If I had known that our first true encounter -the one where I found him drunk as hell- would've led to something more "permanent" then I would've never encouraged them in the first place. But it seems like karma has a sick sense of humour. Cause he's back again and there is no getting rid of him.
